I have been using Midori which was compiled for Puppy by Technosauraus. I really like the way it renders pages. Somehow, the webkit browsers seem to work better on my screen than the gheko(?) based ones. MUST give this a try.......................
I tried to build the latest Midori but ran into trouble with webkit. Sh*t its difficult _________________Spup Frugal HD and USB

webkitgtk is MUCH easier to compile than the standard webkit(provided you have libsoup and use the glib unicode backend instead of ICU)_________________Check out my github repositories. I may eventually get around to updating my blogspot.

I apologize for hijacking the thread temporarily... teaching oportunity
My guess is that when you compiled glib, you did not pass the --prefix=/usr flag to the configure script (the default is /usr/local) this can have 2 effects:
1. Your glibXXX.pc file is by default in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, so the old one gets picked up by the configure script instead
2. Your glib-config script goes to $PREFIX/bin so the old one gets used there too. (most likely scenario)
#this is due to its location in $PATH and $PKGCONFIG_PATH (spelling?)

No worry's though - I can post my latest stable glib pet and its DEV.pet, just thought it may save some frustration later for other packages._________________Check out my github repositories. I may eventually get around to updating my blogspot.

Technosaurus........ thanks. I need to digest your post and figure out what it means. I just did ./configure make make install, so I guess you are right._________________Spup Frugal HD and USB

If anyone is debating making a puplet with arora as the default browser, there is a test browser included in Qt build that would make a decent "defaulthtmlviewer". I am doing the same thing for Midori + webkitgtk's GtkLauncher (only I modified the default home page from http://www.google.com to file:///usr/share/docs/home.htm)_________________Check out my github repositories.
